1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for vegan)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the julienned mango, red bell pepper, cucumber, and shredded carrots. Toss gently to mix everything together.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce (or soy sauce), lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, and sliced red chilies. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

      Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to ensure everything is well coated.

        Add Fresh Elements: Add in the chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts, folding them into the salad carefully to maintain the crunchiness.

          Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed. For extra heat, you can add more chilies or a pinch of chili flakes.

            Serve: Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve fresh as a side dish or light main course.
